.003 was just their claim, I highly doubt it is actually that fine. More likely 0.3. The stuff is still ridiculously fine though.

This statement is contradicting;

> [@Yo-yo\_Power](#):
>
> “dry coating,” which can greatly improve the performance of a bearing and revive a bearing that has fallen into bad condition.

> [@Yo-yo\_Power](#):
>
> Dark Matter™ is only to be used on a clean and well functioning bearing. Dark Matter™ is not intended to repair a broken or faulty bearing.

Lmao that’s funny.

I copied and pasted that from a yoyo store. I think that is a way to legally protect the manufacturer in some capacity.

Well I just dug for an hour through unopened yoyos and found my dark matter.

Opened it for the first time and it was already dried out.

Should be good with some IPA added to it. The rubbing kind not the drinking kind

I bet you mine is just like that and I’ve never opened it
